You just can’t do anything without offending someone or another these days. Coffee, chocolate and catnip. You need lots of coffee, chocolate and catnip. I wouldn’t say dumb and liberal — probably more like insensitive and liberal. But then again, when we lived in Spain, a liberal was a liberal, not a progressive (progressives are mislabelled as liberals here). But things could have changed.

You are so right, Tim. The same thing seems to be happening in this part of the world; you just can’t do anything without offending someone else. Thank goodness I can compensate this fact with espresso, chocolate and treats for Mr. Bowie!

Do not have a bad hair day (you know what I mean), Herman. Catnip, chocolate and espresso will help. They say best way to chase off the devil is to laugh at him, so it looks like someone has made a good start.

How we wish the Russians or some other country dumb enough to like this idiot would keep him. Mom says he isn’t going to make America great but rather break it. Be happy he is only here for a short time. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo and Cooper Murphy

You are – as always – right on the mark! Particularly when it comes to surviving these days with the help of ice cream, chocolate and espresso (not necessarily in that order) with a healthy dose of CATNIP! I’m sure Mr. Bowie is happy to see THAT arriving in “his” garden!

At least Mr. Bowie is having a good day! While I regret we couldn’t keep him here instead of unleashing him on official visits to our friends abroad, it is kind of nice not having the outrageous tweet of the day. It is impossible not to compare his public utterances to the eloquent, more professorial remarks of President Obama and sigh. Obama was president one could admire for his squeaky clean presidency and his squeaky clean family. Flawless, of course not, but he had a dignity that the current guy totally lacks. While Hillary Clinton attracted flies, she at least understood that the Presidency wasn’t for amateurs. That said, perhaps you need to bring out a nice single malt Scotch or a little brandy to survive the presidential visit…! I can’t hold my breath for four years, if he lasts that long, but I do pinch my nose to stave off the stench of corruption till it catches up with him!

Scarier yet is Pence, the vice president, who is more familiar with how things work in washington and who is an extreme right wing ideologue. Were Trump to be impeached and forced out of office, Pence would be next in line.

Petting Mr. Bowie right now! And getting ready for my first espresso this morning, outside and enjoying the warm sunshine…
The scary man will leave our country later today… Please put him away in a safe place! 😉

Hi Susan. I’m sorry if you’re offended by this post. People hold lots of different views. I believe everyone’s opinion deserves equal respect. We are never all going to agree, but that doesn’t mean we can’t be respectful. Humor is a great way to hook readers, no matter the subject.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I can’t sympathise for a man who’s insulting presidential candidates, journalists, women, Latinos, Mexicans, parents of a fallen soldier, calling criticism false and ‘fake news’, etc… That’s not a President worthy of its name.

But hey, it’s a free world and I respect everyones thoughts, religion and opinions.

I feel like apologizing to the rest of the world forever that the US elected him, even through the chicanery of the Electoral College and outside manipulation. And we are so scared over here. Just so, so scared.

Thank you for the link of this interesting article. I’m still wondering how this episode in the history of the US of A was possible? After all what he said and did over the last years… I’m going to need a lot of espressos the next years… 😉
